How to Make Blueberry Iced Tea

  1. Combine 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and released their juices.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
  5. Stir in 4 cups of strong brewed black tea (cooled), 2 cups of cold water, and the juice of 1 lemon.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of vodka or rum (optional).
  7. Stir well to combine.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Serve over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with fresh blueberries and a lemon wedge.
